Re: Macintosh LCIII - NetBSD

Hmmm. I have 4.0.1 here. I'm pretty sure I tried a sysinst but I maybe didnt 
try a "manual" one.
Things arent helped this end because I have no C.D. drive and I can't seem to 
get netatalk running to the LCIIIs liking!
I'm forced to use Internet Explorer to pull stuff over to the LCIII using ftp!

:P

All good fun!
